 Right, so, I finally have longer than half an hour on the computer to do ALL OF MY STUFF.

I'm in the library at Rotarua, where it is pouring down rain, holy crap there is so. much. rain. The internet is kind of crappy and reallyyyy slow, but oh well. It is serving my purposes.

So firstly I wanted to give my massive, massive thanks for everything you guys said in the anonymous love meme. I don't even know what to say beyond flailing and thank you because it really means an incredible amount to me, everything you said and just. <33333333 I love you guys all so much.

So yeah, I'm travelling again. I don't know when I won't be travelling for the next month and a half, actually. I may be back at at the hostel for a few days inbetween travelling and going home for my sister's wedding. Then I'm home for the wedding from January 18 and I'm back like... Feb. 1stish? to begin work at the hostel again.

Also I wrote Supernatural/Leverage fic while pinch-hitting for the Crossover Exchange, and it is up on A03 and I'm running out of time so can't link to it, but yeah. It is there! It is Dean/Eliot.

I love all you guys an immense amount! See you around.

 So, the anonymous Holiday Love Meme is going.

My thread is here.

I... could kind of really use the confidence boost? I've been slipping a lot the past few days and just generally having issues with my emotions and everything. I'm never sure if I'm going to start laughing hysterically or sobbing. A couple of times it's been both simultaneously. Nice things sounds really good right now.

God, that sounds horrifically selfish, but yeah, I'd really appreciate it if you'd drop by and leave a note for me. 

And please do link me to yours! I'm trying to write college essays, so I haven't been looking through all the pages, but I'd like to say nice things about all of you guys. <3333

 will be at camp and not around for the next four days. see you guys when I get back. <333

it is probably telling that it ended on my MC telling off and threatening the collective governments of earth for not being nearly good enough people and then going and destroying a facility experimenting on posthumans. and by destroying I mean completely and totally levelling it piece by piece after getting everyone out. 

It's not so much a coherent story as this wide, sprawling collection of things that are a big part of this universe I'm building around it, but I think it's a pretty fair amount of work for one month.

( beta request, don't look if you're in crossover exchange )

Right! So. Dearest of Yuletiders, I pretty much adore you, and I really love these stories, so I'll love pretty much anything you write for them.

I do want to give you some sort of suggestions as to more specific things I like, because I know that I like having some specifics, but don't feel too bound by anything I say. I like a huge range of stuff and I tend to forget to list half of what I like, so. 

Anyways.

( stuff )

So, uh, yeah. I hope that's not too much detail, and I hope it's enough, and I'm really, really excited for whatever you will write. Seriously. If it's in one of these fandoms and avoids my triggers/squicks - I'm good. And also I love you for this, and I'd really like you to have fun writing this story above all, so. Please, do something that gives you joy.

Thanks!

 I will feel better when the stats stop telling me I'll finish on Dec. 15th. Which they won't stop telling me until it's not true anymore. Which means I have to write... two thousand something words? Which I won't accomplish tonight. But if I make word count tonight, I'll only have like - 2500 words to write tomorrow!

I am finally achieving some sort of breakthrough, which is good, because if I don't have any inspiration for NaNo but have loads for my RP characters, guess who gets written and who doesn't? 

BANTER MORE, KIDS. BANTER MORE. 

p.s. oh my god I have to catch up so I can start writing college application essays I hate those things. also I need to write and ask for recommendations. also one of our hostel girls came home from a party drunk tonight. thank goodness I wasn't on duty. (instead I am on tomorrow. and don't even get the hour more sleep in of the weekend because some girls have to be let out early. and I worked like three extra hours Friday. I'm being cranky ignore me.)

so! NANOING FLIST, how's your novels going?

REST OF FLIST, how's life? I.. haven't checked anything in like three days now. Oops.

will be posting this on Tumblr too feel free to ignore it.

 I feel bad, I have been neglecting - um, everything?

I picked up a few people at the YJ friending meme! I feel like I should introduce myself, but I am really super bad at introductions. Um. Hi, I'm Betsy, I'm working in New Zealand for a year before college, I like reading and writing and music and watching things and LADIES and superheroes (and superhero ladies are double awesome) and politics in the sense of wanting to beat up all the politicians and do something myself and languages and silly things and RPing and Susan Pevensie. (You may think the last one is overly specific compared to the others. It is not. Susan Pevensie is the actual best. She is an entire category of awesome all by herself.)

NaNoWriMo is in five days! This is really exciting to me. I have been wanting to write and doing planning for writing a lot this past year, but I've been so fragmented in my actual writing, bits and pieces of things. NaNo makes me sit down and write a complete narrative, which is always a good and needed thing. HEY HEY HEY you should talk to me about NaNo, anyone else doing it or anyone who just wants to talk! 

Also Crossover Exchange (which I should get written this week if I am smart, which invariably I am not when it comes to deadlines), Yuletide when it comes around, and Festivids. 

( some RL chatter! )

 

TV-wise, I have nothing but incoherent joy at Downton Abbey, even more incoherent joy for Young Justice (TEAM TEAM THIS TEAM OH MY GOD), an admission that I have GOT to catch up on Criminal Minds and Nikita, and a note that I've been watching a few episodes of Alpha and it seems quite interesting. But I am so open to discussing these shows, definitely.

And that is all I have for today! <3333 Love you guys!

 in much lighter fare than I've been recently!

I'm doing NaNoWriMo again, as I do - well, every year. :P this year it is teenage superheroes and the dawn of the superhero age! I want to get to know my characters a bit better, so I'd like to do a meme thing with you guys if I can? 

Three options!
1)  Give me one, two, or three characters and a prompt. (Anything from one word to a song.) I'll write ... something. 
2) Ask my characters questions about themselves. Anything goes!
3) Anything else you think will help me build their characters. :P

The characters are:

Pavati, 18, protagonist and main character, just graduated high school and acquired superpowers. Not a very brave person, retiring, considers herself a follower, highly developed sense of responsibility and justice, pretty naive. 
Andrea, 18, protagonist, Pavati's best friend, also just graduated. A big fan of explosions, sarcasm, and a fiercely loyal friend.
Terry, 16, protagonist, about-to-be-a-senior-and-turn-17, just realized he's a mutant/posthuman, geeky, very anti-government, increasingly bitter about how his kind are being treated. 
Mr. Brown, age unknown (middle aged), antagonist, in charge of the squads responsible for bringing down and imprisoning dangerous posthumans. Paranoid about posthumans. Willing to go to extremes to keep them down.
Hana Saab, early 30's, mostly antagonist, commander of the squad sent after Pavati. Has her doubts about the methods being used. 

So NFE reveals went up a while ago and I - neglected to mention mine here. Or stick it on A03. This is now rectified!

a cloud tangled in the tale of a kite
Narnia. Liliandil. Liliandil/Caspian.
On LJ. On A03.
Her heart is beating very fast indeed, and where she can feel the pulse at the corner of his wrist his is as well.


This is actually more or less a sequel to last year's NFE, your least gesture beckoned a constellation. (I even titled them from the same poem. I know, I know.) At first I was kind of worried as to whether I could write another fic about Liliandil, but as it turns out I quite like her and writing her - I should do it more often, but then again her and Caspian's lives just make me really, really sad. I hope I did justice to her. There was more I wish I could have figured out how to put in, on her tangled loyalties and maybe some meta on how stars work, but I got stuck too many times when I tried and I didn't have enough time to make it work. (I think it would have taken a long time.)

I've been working on the last thing for the We Love The Women That Fandom Hates fest, but it keeps being too big and taking too long. It will show up someday, I promise. :P

( real life stuff )

So there's a couple of icon memes going around! First round is from fallingtowers . :D

( icon meme responses! )

Also have watched 2x01 of Downton Abbey and have a LOT of feelings about it. Feel free to ask me about them!
